Wexford

County Wexford, Contae Loch Garman in Irish, has a population of more than 145,000 – the 14th largest in Ireland. In pre-Norman times it was part of the Kingdom of Ui Cheinnselaig, whose capital was at Ferns. It is known as Ireland’s “sunny southeast” because the number of hours of sunshine received daily is higher than in the rest of the country.
